Shoutout to his wife who held down the home and kids, giving him time to devote to his passion project
underrated comment!
And now she help him to spend the money.. this is kinda investment 😅
@@tamasszabo3177 She had the easy job, unless she was directly involved in the creation, testing, marketing, research, billing, PR, service, out-smarting copy-cats, etcetera.
These are some hard yards for one person- that isn't a coder.
Good for them and their family.
Vision and the ability to react to the unknown path(s) are where this guy really shines... plus he does proper research on-the-fly that's invaluable to his mindset and business model.
oh god this shit
“I didn’t have a vision” This guy is a legend. Very real and authentic.
This was refreshing. Demotivating then motivating the demotivating then motivating [...] really realistic.
yep realistic most of the stories i watch are like boom and happily ever after or just lose it all…
Couldnt agree more! amazing Testimony
This is my first ever video on this channel and I absolutely love it. I appreciate David for sharing in detail and I wish him luck!
I like this episode because everything felt so real. No hype, no bs. Full of pain and struggle that we can relate to. Thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing! Very inspiring story! One little remark - your music goes a little too loud at some parts, I'd make it much more subtle. But once again, super glad I bumped into your channel, I will go watch other videos ♡
Brilliant story and very insightful. Thanks to you and David for sharing this.
I interviewed David for my own blog but it was way back when he'd only been going for 6 months. Super focused guy. Love to see these kind of success stories coming out of the no-code world, sure a lot of coders like to s*** on it but ultimately folks like David and I would not have been able to make our ideas reality without tools like Bubble.

Hi Pat, I noticed a debit of £276 from my account today Feb 2024 and I'm unsure about the reason behind it. Could you please contact me? ASAP
Great interview!
Really shows what entrepreneurship is, the up's and down's you have the deal with.
Feelings that persverance is so important, whereas 95% would have quit already, then ones that will be successful know it's part of the process.
love the candid interview style
we do interviews as well, very similar to this, but have to now been using lapel mics.
what mic setup are you using?
would you be willing to
a) share a photo of the behind-the-scenes setup?
b) share the exact mic/interface setup?
excellent job on the multi-cam edits
this is harder than you make it look
Kudos
Great work David! Thanks for sharing your story!
Quite inspiring, i wish i had continued my idea execution persistantly (3 years back) . Great motivation!
No code is so powerful for launching a business. Great story!
I really needed to watch this video! THANKS
For coders, remember the no-code solution was built b coders and underneath it generates code to make the stuffs work
FRKN crazy! This is so inspiring.
First vid in the channel. Won’t be the last!
Quite the feat. Inspiring chap. Thanks for telling his story. *background music was a little distracting.
I'm encouraged by this video, going from no coding to building a million dollar business is incredible. Weldone David.
Super inspiring especially to stretch your own itch! I will say though… the background looping music at the end of the video was very distracting.
Brilliant Story and Interview
I'm so grateful that I found your RUclips channel.
Gives me confidence to be on my journey.thanks team🎉
where's the rest of the interview?
I freakin love this RUclips channel
Kudos brother!
Thanks for the great video!
The way I love this channel. Just the content I need to digest on
bang on
We want the full uncut version of the interview
what a very interesting story. best of luck to this guy :)
Why is there background music playing the whole time? Just no need for it. Let the man talk.
lol, plus it’s music that’s very upbeat and implies action.
I came here to like this.
Stfu it works well
great video thank you
This was great 🔥
The link is not sending the report to the email being entered. Hopefully you might resolve this issue
Just the video I was waiting for😍😍
This is an incredible journey that really shows the power of dedication and a smart concept. For entrepreneurs diving into AI, remember that integrating your solution with existing business workflows can drastically increase adoption rates.
wait, he launched with no code but did he hire developers afterwards? 5:30 he mentioned no code portion decreased over time
They don't seem like tech illiterates and "just by watching YT videos" guys ... this must be his 999th attempt at a micro tech startup.
You can tell this guy's attitude carried him hard. He strikes me as someone that hasn't moped longer than a day in his life.
Can it be replaced by Microsoft Copilot?
I believe I’m exactly on the same spot right now that he was. Thanks for sharing this!
For some reason I don't get the 52 ideas after filling up with my email. I think I was previously in the newsletter. Could you please take a look and I will register again
has anyone tried to download that 52-idea report from the link? Have you received it? I haven't gotten anything.
Interesting because I was thinking about learning a couple of no-code tools to build for my other primary project called Embassy Life in DC. It focuses mainly on international embassy and cultural events in the DC area.
I was thinking of designing some sort of interactive map where one could upload activities in the form of bookmarks for the various embassies in the city. Users could create accounts and favorite them. Maybe have some sort of interactive way of incorporating Eventbrite into it?
I'm not exactly sure but this is an inspirational example of what is possible with no-code tools since I am not a coder.
Hi there, this looks like an interesting idea. Could you please elaborate on what you meant by uploading activities in the form of bookmarks?
Sounds super interesting, any email or socials where you’re updating progress on this? Would love to see how it’s going
Hi Pat,
I noticed a debit of £276 from my account today Feb 2024 and I'm unsure about the reason behind it. Could you please contact me? ASAP
for business, why would you put your idea in public? for a fun personal project, good luck
what platform did he use?
This was great.
I’ll see your api cap, and I’ll raise you. I see you api. I see you now.
As a researcher in the space. Ensure you actually research trends. This is literally an API wrapper. I don't see how he can build anything off his initial product that an agent can't already do. Get your bag though. Dont worry models are coming which will make non-coders independent from openai API's.
The value is I'm having everything presetup and not having to do prompt engineering as he has the Domain knowledge which is a level A.I. hasn't reaches where it can easily do all this yet.
Congrats. I think in the long run GPT wrappers like this one will all fail. This will be only feature in excel .
Keep copping, atleast he made a mil with it
No. you are a beginner in small businesses
If it's easy, also build a gpt wrapper and make a grand😭
That’s why he’s a millionaire and your not. You see obstacles, while he sees opportunities. Learn from him and change your negative mindset.
@@A2431A congrats to him, nothing negative in my comment. He is aware of that and that's why he said he want to create something that can't be replicated by ChatGPT or Microsoft.
So how did he exactly make the $1 million? Since Microsoft build the add on? What was his model to earn money?
Im confused about the part where microsfot reached out to him to build the addon, arent they just building his app without him having any ownership of the ip?
Yes. Just Microsoft being predatory.
Crazy how Excel now just comes with an AI natural language prompt feature. His suspicions were right.
That is very inspiring
I am curious to ask if in the grand scheme it was worth it to call it excel formula bot in the begining for growth. Like would he recommend doing something like that and then just wait for a letter and change it.
Only if you are passionate about your idea or maybe just desperate for money.
How would this work with ChatGPT providing exactly the same features since underlying API is same? Any one can just use that API, right? Will Excel not swallow it all at one point of time?
I thought the same. But I think we underestimate availability. You hear about this bot than you use it. maybe you could use gpt but this version is much more convenient.
Isn't this what copilot does now ?
this guy is awesome
how is this different then excel copilot?
So he shifted from no code to basically professional code development?
Really nice
The cease and disest is from 02/2020 but he said he started in 2022
Yeah that’s weird unless that wasn’t the actual
Hey can you share a story of an editor
Instagram brought me here. As a junior full stack web developer, im inspired to create tools to help people who is in need specially using ai. I hope someday i can create things like this in the future. I’ll be following the stories you’ll be sharing. Thanks
Super cool! How long have you been a junior full stack web developer for?
The background music is too loud, at the end of the video I was under the impression that I listen music and somebody talks over it. It's annoying. Please fix this on future videos.
I don't know I think he should start saving and recoup the money because the breakneck speed with A.I the value for the things he currently offers will continue to decay and harder to get new subscribers since GPTs store launch and it can basically do it all but not everyone has GPT sub.
he started the idea in July 2022. The microsoft letter is from 2020. What's up?
Great and informative video but the music is kinda loud and annoying while the guy speaks
Sure🤙
Didnt receive the report brother!!!
Means it works with no code
Amazing story! Just curious how you are getting $1M app from something with $26k MRR?
Growth rate?
Cool very cool
So he was depending on OpenAi API so that can't be sustainable as they can just change something and your one man shop is 🔒 closed.
So did he get screwed by Microsoft by letting them build his idea for free or is he in a better situation because of it?
i had the same idea about a year ago and someone told me it's not worth it, so i forgot about it and now i am watching someone success story with the same idea 😅🙂
This is why you don't tell people your ideas, you just go for it, or else... they'll project their fears on you & you tend to lose out at the end of the day. its well.
oh dear, can you turn that music off please.
Great video! Question : why did he generate 5k in API costs? What are those costs for ?
Each API call costs money. GPT 3.5 is about 100x cheaper than GPT4. E.g. $.001 vs. $.01.
@@handylife22 thanks for that info. Is this the case for all APIs?
@johnnydiaz6758 I'm only certain about OpenAI's API calls costing money, but I would imagine that goes for others as well.
Microsoft CoPilot is in MS Excel now...
Can't figure how he'd ever be able to build something non-replicable. Given the way intellectual property works, all competitors have to do is make some simple changes and voila, they've got their own. You'd need a patent thicket -- nothing a mere mortal could ever afford, let alone wait for. By the time you were granted the actual rights, these big tech giants would've zoomed far past you anyhow.
There are a lot more motes than patents.
"The application has been around about a year and half" But the cease and desist letter from Microsoft is 2020? What is going on here?
you skipped the part where he told how he trained the AI with no code.
how's that possible
If "no code" allows you to send a message to the GPT server then that is all you would need. You would just send a message that says: "Convert my text into a formula." This would make sure it doesn't respond with messages trying to flirt with users or something.
'THE CRAZY PART IS... HE BUILT THIS IN A YEAR
$25k per month is not a "$1m AI App". But $300k still not bad for top line for a side project.
1M != NO CODE
As always, such an inspiration 🎉
Without a wife like yours you wouldn't be able to build this. Shout out that woman. I hope I can find a woman like her in my life. Congrats to you and the family.
work smarter not harder
So his business flopped in the end because of Microsoft? I didn't quite get it
Yes
lol not at all
@@theformulabot So what happened? That story was cut off short
@@mikefromlighthousesmma1707 guess you’ve got to subscribe to find out 👀
@@mikefromlighthousesmma1707 still growing every day
Is it really possible for 1 idea to just blow up using open ai?
absolutely bro
[No Code]
It went from 100% no code to 5-10% no code? Did someone understand it’s not clear for me
I'm assuming he has developed custom software to replace the no code due to its limitations.
I believe he said that he went to 10% code. In other words he kept 90% of the no-code. Even if you do something no-code there is hidden computer generated code somewhere and professionals can tap into it and add code.
Love the videos but the music is too high! Personally, for this type of content I prefer to listen to your voices. Not music
I’m not sure man, middle schoolers won’t be able to do this
Not true.
His post with so many likes on reedit had bug brands like Tesla Microsoft using his product 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
what was that strategy to gi viral?
Reddit. He told in the beginning.
Shout-out to his wife who held down the home and kids
giving him time to devote to his project
this startup is dead in the water lol
I have made it to the right section of the youtube
Why does this dude have auto-tune on his voice?
Sue Microsoft!
Please the background music is so loud and unnessary!
